If you ever look at the tags on our social media posts and wonder, "Who are they?" we'll tell you now. They're our partners, and we couldn't do what we do without them. There's a lot to running an organization like ours and while we greatly appreciate when people give us money, we also benefit from the guidance and steering that these groups give us. As a group barely a year old, we soak up all the tips and lessons that our partners can give us. It's also a sign of how things should be in the nonprofit world. We need to help each other. There is competition for resources, yes, but there's also plenty of opportunity for collaboration and referrals. A volunteer who may be unsuited for one agency could thrive in a different one. For example, someone who signed up to help at an animal shelter may find out the hard way that pet dander is not their friend. But walking dogs for a group like Elderdog is right up their alley. Our mission at Volunteer Peterborough is simple; we strive to match volunteers to the ideal organization, and make the recruitment process easier. Our partner agencies make that happen. Stop by our Partners page and see the full group of people that help us do what we do. And we love them for it. https://buff.ly/3JFesd7 #FanFriday #NonProfitLife #ValuableAssets #Partners #CommunityBuilding #Besties

Time to rethink the current generic model of the Special Constabulary to a more tailored model which invests in a smaller warranted capability, but enables public participation in policing with a clearer ask.

Whilst this post focuses on volunteers supporting policing I also think there’s more that can be done to engage society to act when they notice harm taking place. Whether involving friends or strangers there are safe ways to act I’ve spent the last two years working with many hundreds of ordinary people across the UK delivering a training I call “A community in motion” The training have been very well received with many people highlighting the benefits they have received through attending trainings. Within these I have two simple aims 1. Work to motivate people to act and 2. Provide tools to act Often part 1 is missing from the discussion. I try to follow a science of prevention. The evidence says we can train people to be more active. So are well potential interveners when it comes to keeping our communities safe? I think so.

Please take a moment to read our Annual Report. This is from the 'Year Ahead' https://lnkd.in/eGBaRWu3 "Our growing compassionate community really appreciates how important it is to keep people and beloved pets together, and to help them live well together. However, there are many barriers and challenges. The biggest is housing, specifically temporary and emergency housing which do not allow pets, resulting in additional significant distress, and sometimes homelessness or forced relinquishment. We are having to be reactive because others are saying “no”. Animal companionship is not all positive and we are evidencing a lot of challenges especially when there is significant mental health or critical changes in circumstances. We want to encourage more care planning where there are pets, so when owners need support it is clear and easy for others to step in. Research is needed for the most effective solutions to safeguard the health and welfare of people and animals; and we will explore working with academics to be part of this. Lack of pet-inclusive housing and the crises in so many sectors means that community outreach is vital in this everchanging and challenging world. The dearth of community care is making it increasingly difficult for everyone experiencing vulnerability. We need joined up integrated services and proactive care planning to help prevent crises. Our society needs widespread pet-inclusive accommodation, including sheltered housing, care facilities, mental wards and homeless hostels, and strong networks of multi-disciplinary support for these important life-enhancing and life-saving human-animal bonds. Our collaborative approach is only possible with sustainable funding, vital volunteers and policy changes. We are proud of our role in identifying and supporting unmet need and look forward to doing more. There is a busy time ahead." #AnimalCompanionshipSupportServices #AnimalCompanionship #PeopleInNeed #AnimalsInNeed #HumanAnimalBond

Tips for Seniors: Stay Active Living in a senior community offers plenty of activities! Sign up for something different this month and invite a family member to join. If you're not in a senior community, local senior centers or park districts can help you find new activities. Consider attending a sporting event, trying a new restaurant, or visiting a museum. Learn to cook or play an instrument. Volunteering at a school, library, or hospital is another great way to stay active and engaged. #SeniorLiving #HealthyAging #StayActive #WellnessTips
